That's a pretty powerful photo, Steve. Nice!

I can't believe this photo didn't even garner a runner up. Being in black and white makes it really powerful and it has the feeling of photos taken where the subjects had to sit through a long exposure. It is a nice touch posing them in front of a locomotive that was never used by Amtrak. PCA vote from me.

Suburb portrait Steve. I have found railroad rule books to be less inscrutable than photo editors. You know, I know everyone else knows this is a great shot. I'm sure a print is proudly hanging in the D'Agostino home.

I don't see the reason for not giving this shot an award, unless it is the fact that the father is with his son, rather than his daughter. The change in their eyes is not present as it represents no change in that sons have always followed their fathers, while their daughters have not done so.

Absolutely awesome.
It's now one of my favorites.

Steve, I've always admired your work here and even more so now since I had the pleasure of meeting you last February in Ely. This shot though, is simply superlative. I'm glad that you chose to share it with all of us even though Trains didn't see fit to share it with their readers. Thanks again.
